Description: Offers useful and practical advice to students about how to get the most from their college experience and from the kind of support which is available. It also provides teachers with the information they require in order to meet the needs of those students more effectively. In this new edition of their well-known text, Dorothy Gilroy and Tim Miles have thoroughly up-dated and expanded their original material. In accordance with recent thinking, the book emphasises not just the weakness of dyslexics, but their special talents. Many more dyslexics now go to college or university compared with previously; and the book gives advice not only to students, but also to tutors and those concerned with setting up support services. There is also a chapter on the use of new technology.
